Lu Yu began embroidering her wedding dress again.
In late August, Cui Yun came to the embroidery shop in person, accompanied by Qin Xiaozhou, who was looking at the new products. Two of the clothes were particularly eye-catching, as they were embroidered with dozens of colorful feathers and several long blue tail feathers, making them look exactly like birds. The clothes instantly came to life. "This is quite novel. Who came up with this idea?"
Li Zhen calmly replied, "Embroiderers all strive for realism. I'm just taking a shortcut. But don't worry, shopkeeper, very few garments are embroidered with feathers, so it won't affect the reputation of our shop's embroidery."
Granny Qian stepped forward with a smile, "These feathers were brought in by a hunter to sell. The hunter hunted more than a dozen brightly colored birds with complete feathers, and Miss Zhen sewed the feathers onto the clothes according to the original shape of the birds. What a clever idea!"
Cui Yun nodded, "This dress is nice. The stitching and the embroidered pattern are both excellent. Let's keep this one."
The clothes were quickly packed and handed to Cui Yun's maid. Cui Yun then selected two more elegant outfits. Before leaving the embroidery tower, Cui Yun asked, "Do you know where these clothes are to be sent?"
Qin Xiaozhou shook her head. Cui Yun liked her clever and sincere nature. "That dress with the whole bird on it should be sent to Yujing Palace and delivered to the Crown Prince's concubine."
These terms were straight out of Arabian Nights, so Qin Xiaozhou immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, Madam, for giving me this opportunity."
"Whether it's a blessing or a curse is still unknown, but those who achieve great things must have the courage to seek fortune in danger." Cui Yun left with her people, but Zhu Xian did not leave. She crossed her arms and leaned against the door frame. "I see that your clothes are very stylish. It just so happens that my mother and I are going to Yujing to pay New Year's respects to the Crown Prince's concubine. Pick out some good ones and I will take them to Yujing. Maybe there will be an opportunity."
Qin Xiaozhou handled such a big matter personally, inspecting all the embroidery pieces in one day and having them carefully packed into boxes and carried to the ship at the dock. Zhu Xian was already waiting on the cargo ship. "I estimate I won't be back until next spring. I'll send someone to deliver the dividends from the cakes and desserts before the new year."
Qin Xiaozhou led Lu Yunxing onto the ship. "My brother-in-law is a scholar who has never been to the capital. I would like to ask you to take him there so he can broaden his horizons."
Lu Yunxing received a message last night telling him to go to the capital. He was shocked and excited and couldn't sleep all night. He rushed over from home at dawn. As soon as he arrived at the dock, Zhao Fang stuffed a package into his hands, telling him that there was silver, silver notes and a change of clothes inside. He was then pushed onto the ship in a daze. When he saw Zhu Xian, he realized what was happening and hurriedly bowed.
Zhu Xian was happy to help Qin Xiaozhou, who was just a scholar she knew well. She said to him, "You're a gem. Why don't you go to Yujing with me? Maybe you can settle down there."
Qin Xiaozhou laughed, "I am indeed a piece of gold, but the capital is already so magnificent, why should I bother to add to its splendor?"
Zhu Xian threw her head back and laughed. Cui Yun looked at the girl carefully again and saw that she was indeed both smart and self-aware.
